Thoughts on '73 455/4-speed
Wanted to get some input on the car I looked at today. It's a '73 Cutlass 'S', 455, 4-speed. VIN starts 3G37V3 and it has M20 on the cowl tag. Unfortunately, the original drivetrain has been replaced with an F-code ('68-'72) 455 and Borg Warner trans. Body is very good with minimal rust around windows. Interior is complete but needs most items restored. Options that I noticed are: a/c (intact), tilt, & swivel buckets/console. Asking price is $4k. It seemed like a good deal until I discovered the non-orignal engine/trans, but what do I know?? I'd like to hear from the experts. Thanks for ANY thoughts/advice. Bob

4k for something like that seems like a good deal if its straight, has it been repainted ? is there any bondo ? check it out. and if the engine is from an earlier year, then you got nothing to lose, you could probably find someone to trade with and get your proper engine/tranny. it just means that there are more horsies for you to play with under the hood
